I love the quote by Haim Ginott.  It is so true, and rather mind boggling to realize the impact we have on students' lives, and the huge responsibility that entails.   I designed this little poster, so that you can hang it up inside your teacher's cupboard or closet, as a gentle reminder.  If you like it; print off some copies for your teacher friends and tuck them in their mailboxes, as a thoughtful way to wish them a wonderful year.  May yours be filled with excitement and plenty of memory-making moments.
